Oh, this is a good one...
For those that don& #39;t know, @SheffieldStar is the local tabloid. It& #39;s also a bit crap, and the people behind it can& #39;t take criticism or corrections, which is why I got blocked by them...

Then I saw this pop-up on my feed...

One quick jaunt onto an incognito browser and I see this...
That& #39;s right, a list of J.D. Wetherspoon& #39;s pubs. You& #39;ll notice I have an apostrophe in there, because I understand grammar. Something that is apparently not required when working for The Star...
But, being the curious sort, I decided to go through the list to see just how far the cancer has spread in my fair city.
"Urgh, crap, awful... WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!"
"Urgh, crap, awful... WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!"
Now, it& #39;s been a while since I& #39;ve had a beer in the Lord Nelson, but it wasn& #39;t property of Wetherspoon when I used to live down there.
Now, maybe that& #39;s changed, despite my rugged handsomeness and charm, I don& #39;t actually know everything...

But something feels off, it doesn& #39;t fit the profile of the sort of property that J.D. Wetherspoon adds to their portfolio.
I know! I& #39;ll get my answers from the horse& #39;s mouth by using the J.D. Wetherspoon pub finder with the Lord Nelson& #39;s postcode...

Hmmm, it& #39;s not there, maybe there& #39;s a glitch with their search function that doesn& #39;t show you a place when you search from there. Let& #39;s try the postcode of the Wetherspoon in the old Water Works& #39; building...
So J.D. Wetherspoon themselves don& #39;t think it& #39;s one of their pubs...
Now I& #39;m not a lawyer, but given the reputation of Tim Martin, that could easily be classed as defamation or libel.
Let& #39;s hope the Lord Nelson are the forgiving sort...

And I& #39;ve not even gotten to the punchline. Slide three, got to refresh the page a lot to display more ads after all...
And that& #39;s it.
Yes, that& #39;s right. Kyle Wilson, writing for the Sheffield Star, thinks a Top 10 list only needs nine fucking entries!
I don& #39;t understand. It& #39;s not like he can knock-off early and go to the pub, is it?

So, maybe, just maybe @NancyFielder, this is why there has to be an insert on every page begging for subscriptions...
People don& #39;t respect a local newspaper when the supposed professionals writing it can& #39;t use grammar or maths...
Just saying...
